Good find
We booked this site to use whilst we were working at Cartmel races. We found the site easily as we know the area well, but may be difficult for someone unfamiliar. There was no one to greet us but this is not unusual on CL sites. The pitches are under... Show more

Disappointing
Arriving on site there are none of the views showing on the website. The trees between the pitches have grown so tall they overhang all the pitches and block out the views. The site is very close to the main road, hence traffic noise, they are also very narrow. For... Show more

An adequate site
In an area with several stunning CLs, this is simply adequate. There is a large space, mostly covered with meadow. The pitches are all under trees so that the stunning scenery cannot be seen. The bins are right behind the pitches. The fresh water tap is right next to the... Show more

Relax & Unwind but watch out for the overgrown trees.
We spent Bank Holiday at this site. The pitches look over a grassed area that has been made into a wildflower bed with a path around the outside for you to walk around. The views of the hills can be seen from the end of the pitches when you look... Show more

Great for walking
Good CL for walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Some noise from the busy main road. All hard standing so no issue with mud. Pitches fo slope from front to back so levelling ramps are required.

Noisy
Had to leave 4 days early because of the noise from the 13 bed self-catering cottage 3 meters from our pitch, run by site owners. Party cottage, loud music, shouting, screaming until early hours of the morning. Gangs of males and females. Could not sit outside, hear our TV or... Show more

Close to the sights
We booked and paid on the phone, and had been told to just park up on any available pitch. This we did,and did not see the warden at all during our 5 day stay, which was ok because of the covid distancing. A small site, we used our own facilities.... Show more

Another Winner
Arrival on site is straightforward, whichever way you drive along the A590.Just lookout for the Cartmel sign as described in the Site Guide and the barn/house is on the left in 150 yards. The entrance is after the house (now converted to holiday complex). The gate is not very wide... Show more
